there s been some reporting there was also a hatchet? is that true? i have not been able to confirm that. new york post is reporting that a hatchet is among the items found in that bag. dana: will take it around the table. jesse: hey, bryan. his distant asian neighborhood where this subway stop was located? some of the victims looked asian to me. have any law enforcement told you that there could be up possible hate crime angle? yeah, at this moment, this is an asian neighborhood. 35% of the population is asian. the other is hispanic. it s a hispanic-asian neighborhood. the nypd commissioner said that there was no connection to terrorism as of now. they are not ruling anything out. he also mentioned there was no focus on an ethnic group or a hate crime. this person from what they
